Alice Lloyd Eagles Travel to Georgia

Brunswick, Georgia: The Alice Lloyd Eagles traveled to the Peach State to play the first of two games in an out-of-conference road trip. On Sunday, they faced Coastal Georgia and fell 93-69.

In the second half, a jumper by senior forward Simon Christon at 13:35 would set the score at 54-42 and give the visitors hope of a comeback.
